How to Make Your Own Hot Sauce

How to Make Your Own Hot Sauce

Growing up in a multicultural neighborhood was one of the best things that could've ever happened to me. The sound of Latin salsa music, aromas of fresh baked Arabic baklava, warm Armenian boreks and Italian cookies blended perfectly with my mom's own meatloaf and apple pie. On Jefferson Drive everybody brought their culture and cooking to the table, literally. It was exciting, fun and completely natural.

Some memories are sweeter than others.

It probably comes as no surprise then, this intense love I have for people and their music, their culture...and especially their food! Oh yes, the food.

These days, family dinners at our house reflect the cuisine of a happily diverse life. "Please pass the kimchi," and "These koulourakia are yummy!" can often be heard during the same meal. Diversity, as it turns out, tastes great. ¡Olé

Caution!The heat from chiles is not to be taken lightly. Wear a face mask and gloves, and carefully clean all utensils and work surfaces afterwards. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid/minimize respiratory irritation.
